GreatSchools Rating
My children have been attending this school since 2004. One of my students has struggled there (but is now in a new grade level and will have a different teacher which I think was an aspect in his struggles), and the other has thrived. I think both of them are learning what they need to know to operate in the real world. They are both thoughtful, smart and well spoken. There is a great sense of community. Regarding the changes in the administration, there were a couple of very turbulent years, and some tough decisions had to be made, but now they are on solid staffing ground and I have confidence that the new director has the experience and leadership skills necessary to help the school reach its full potential fulfill and exceed its mission.
I have been a parent of a student at Trillium for 7 years, and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants their children to learn problem solving, conflict resolution, and community involvement. It may not be the best choice for every child, but it certainly is for mine.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this school to anyone. We spent a total of 5 years with this school and it was a disaster. I didn't realize how much of a disaster until I moved my eldest child out of the school and into a traditional public school. My daughter was horribly mistreated AND emotionally harmed by her last teacher at Trillium. My husband and I pulled her out of the school after an especially traumatic event. Unfortunately, the staff involved in the decision to suspend my child after the fact, never bothered to meet with us nor did they make any effort to resolve the situation. Had this occurred in a traditional school, this teachers would have been fired. My child entered her new school two full academic years behind, she could barely read or compute simple math problems and she had no knowledge of punctuation. She was referred for special ed testing and had a very severe learning disability, something all the teachers at Trillium failed to notice. My son had a great experience at Trillium. His teacher was amazing. Unfortunately, she was forced out by the new administration. Before you decide to send your child to Trillium, attend a Board Meeting.
Trillium was once a great place where the kids were the main focus. The new administration systematically forced out the founders of the school. Most staff members who started with the school have been let go or have quit. The new administration has not one bit of experience in running a school and would rather decorate her office then buy books for kids. Most programs that made trillium unique are being phased out. Such as garden and traveling. The new administration would rather the school be filled with upper middle class white children.
This school has seriously taken a turn for the worst. They used to care about the students. Now they care about making the administration look good. I wish that it was the same place that I loved once, but it just is not. It is a twisted place that needs to get it's head back on straight.
As a parent of both current and former Trillium students I must express an extreme disappointment with the school as a whole. They profess to subscribe to a democratic process, but I have seen that fail on many occasions. There isn't continuity between classrooms and boundaries are almost nonexistent. While much energy is spent on community activities, there isn't enough focus on academics. Services for special needs students are hard to get. I spent 4 years trying to get extra help for one of my kids to no avail. In less than 3 weeks of dis-enrolling from Trillium and enrolling at our neighborhood school we were getting the remedial help that Trillium refused to provide. There is a complete lack of accountability from students to teachers to administrators. Family involvement is strong. Unfortunately the needs of the students and school can take second place to the beliefs of the parents. There is a core of dedicated staff and parents that are keeping the school afloat. The kindergarten program is phenomenal and I would recommend it to anyone, but beyond that I would advise people to make alternate educational plans for their children.
I have had three daughters attend Trillium. It is a wonderful school. Unusual is the decision making process where the children learn that their opinions truly count and they learn to resolve conflict with words. At times this takes a long time and a lot of care, but what a skill to learn. Two of my daughters had Rob Van Nood, who teaches 3,4,5. He is an amazingly creative teacher. This year, he decided to start the year in an empty room with no furniture. They have developed a learning style that is fluid and hands on, with the kids moving around the room in all sorts of interesting explorations. The school is not for everyone, but it is truly a kind a loving place.
I Love Trillium because they Care! Also in the upper grades they allow the students to work together & help one another. My Son Loves Trillium & he's a Senior this year! Yeah!
This is a great, innovative school that really helps the kids that are ahead of their grade level, while gently pulling up those who are below their grade level. Their full-spectrum programs don't focus entirely on the simple math, history, english area, but also include humanities, music, and other less common areas (horticulture, anyone?) For a small charter school, they do a great job - heck, for a big school they do a great job.
I love the school's focus on sustainability, democracy, and nonviolent communication skills.
Individualized learning for each child
We love Trillium because of the focus on the local and global communities. My 9 year old is aware of the importance of recycling, composting, reusing as much as possible, the value of arts education and the value of being part of a respectful, compassionate community of amazing people! Trillium is truly unique and we can't imagine sending our children anywhere else.
Trillium is a public school with a strong sense of community and in addition to preparing our kids to be a beneficial member of society it encourages them to become a part of the greater community now and engages them on many levels.
There are lots of pluses: A K-12 environment where kids interact with students of all ages, a high level of creativity, lots of child decision making, and kids are empowered to take charge of their school.
Trillium Charter School is a public school that nurtures each child's inherent curiosity, creativity and connection to community. We support diverse learning styles and use democratic processes to help students grow fully as human beings and contribute to and enhance the world.
A small K-12 (plus pre-school) school where students really have a say about what and how they learn each day. This makes for a wonderful learning environment. Plus families are actively encouraged to be involved in many ways making for an awesome community.
the teachers at Trillium seem to really like kids - they are warm and kind and creative, and the parents are involved.
My child loves to go everyday. The program teaches to the whole child. The staff works with each child on an individual basis. Individuals needs and interests are developed.
Mixed age classes, experiential learning, very little 'sitting still', great teachers
This school thrives on community involvement. In this democratic environment, the students are involved in just about every decision making process in the school. They truly care about how their decisions affect the members of their community, and democracy is key in every facet. They spend their money on what matters to the students and place a great deal of importance on the arts, as well as teaching students to be good stewards of the earth. Even their hot lunch program focuses on balanced, healthy, organic meals. I could send my daughter to the neighbourhood school here, but love Trillium so much that we send her there. My child is truly saddened when she has to miss a day. The teachers are wonderful, caring, incredibly patient, and really love children. They focus on positive conflict resolution, and work through mediation rather than strict punitive consequence when there is a problem. They involve the parents early when they sense there is a problem that can be resolved quickly and with minimal drama. The kids don't fall through the cracks at this school.

I am a fountain pen lover since childhood and am very sentimental about fountain pens.
I have been using this product for over 2 years now and I will recommend it to anyone.
Why? Here's why:
1.The nib will become better over time and will become absolutely lovely.
2. The gold plating on the clip hasn't faded a bit.
3.The body still looks new.
4. No instance of spilling over or any leakage yet.
5. Write with it after not using it 2 months and the nib doesn't corrode, there's no blockage and the ink doesn't dry up.
6. It's classy to write with.
One problem I faced though- In the cartridge there is a piston which has a small rubber ring called a 'washer'. It had dislodged. But a new original parker cartridge is available in stationery shops for Rs. 60. no issues on this aspect.
But mind you, you have to take care of your pen. unlike ball pens you cannot chuck fountain pens anyhow and anywhere. Only then will they last.
I had owned many vectors before, they either got lost or were stolen. But i really liked the slick looks of all my vectors. I had the full gold and full silver. I thought the Gold was a bit too flashy and the silver was a bit dull. But this Matte Black one is just right. The gold clip and nib ads some contrast to the pen. I got a F (fine) nib. I do not find it scratchy whatsoever. Will update this review in a couple of weeks and will share my findings abut the pen after using it!
Looks and build Quality : 9/10
In a nutshell - excellent. No complaints in this department.
Writing : 6/10
This is what we buy pens for... the nib feels a little rough in the beginning and needs some time to settle( like all fountain pens do). Later, after some scribbling, you'd be disappointed with the fact that it dosen't write better than the standard parker vector series that is priced at almost half the price... did expect a little more from it.
I am an ardent fountain pen fan and has been looking for a good writing instrument for some time. the pen i got is fantabulous and highly recommended for all good handwriting and fountain pen enthusiasts. the balance and tip are perfect. smooth flow and superb grip. the nib has a protective coverint at the base and so does not soil hands ( all those who use ink pen will understand what i am talking about).
highhly recommeded.
I am using this pen for almost 6 months now and about its nib, even on fine paper it was scratchy in the beginning (not that much but you can feel it). But it is getting better with usage, I have just used one cartridge and I can feet the smoothness now.
Ink pens are made for fine paper so expect the bench mark from that.
Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Co-Chaiman of the Conservative Party and Minister without Portfolio Sayeeda Warsi has sent a message to those celebrating Eid ul Adha this week.
Sayeeda Warsi said:
'I want to send my very best wishes to everyone here in Britain and across the world celebrating Eid ul Adha.
'Eid ul Adha is a time where families and friends come together in celebration of sacrifice and selflessness. It is a time for giving and sharing.
'The festival marks the completion of the Hajj pilgrimage to Makkah, and I was proud to perform Hajj last year.
'Eid allows us to reflect and think about those less fortunate than ourselves and encourages charity. The values of the festival are relevant to us all.
'I hope Eid ul Adha brings peace and happiness to everyone here in Britain and abroad.
'Eid Mubarak.'

Kitchens & Baths How-To
Toilet vent question
My elderly mother and I are in the process of buying a home that was hand built (no contractor) in the late 60's. I noticed there is no vent through the roof above the toilet, but there is a small vent pipe up the outside wall (part way) from the septic tank. Is this safe, or should the toilet also be vented?
The plumbing system has to have a vent somewhere. It could be the pipe coming out of the wall if it is higher than the highest drain in the system. The drains would work VERY slowly if the system wasn't vented.
You are going to have this home inspected by a competent inspector right?
When I lived in England the waste lines on the houses there were all outside of the house and many weren't connected directly to the sewer but had a break between the house's plumbing and the public sewer.
My concern with your set up would be the distance between the pipe and the nearest window and if there were any soffit vents close by that could allow sewer gases to come into the attic.
General Disclaimer
Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
It is recommended that you should remodel your toilet. If possible a hire a plumbing expert who can help you to achieve your dream home.

text: You'll never find a 56" alcove tub...tubs are measured from the stud to stud without any finish on the wall, and you will find lots of 60" tubs. If after removing the walls, your space is really only 56", you might find a 54" tub (they tend to be made in 6" increments from the 'standard' 60" version). There are lots of choices, some have a fixed apron, some have a removable one. There are many available with a tiling flange for an alcove installation. CI will last the longest and look the best (finish wise, maybe not style). There are lots more choices in acrylic, and it can last, but needs more careful installation to make it feel nice and sturdy.

El-Masri's dynamic canvases continuously explore and reinterpret the form of the chair, taking it as a point of departure for an investigation into the act of painting itself, which he describes as a condensing of a greater reality. To El-Masri, the simplicity and lack of ambiguity of the chair allows for endless visual possibilities; while a circle could be taken as a reference to countless other forms, from a ball to our planet, a chair is always identifiable as a chair. This easily recognisable form also serves to anchor his paintings somewhere between figuration and the abstraction filling the rest of the canvas.
The repetition of the chair gives both El-Masri and the viewer the freedom to focus on more formal concerns such as colour and pictorial depth, and even the more elusive meaning of existence. El-Masri's distortion of pictorial space in order to construct his own reality recalls the practice of artists working in the late 19th to early 20th Century, most noticeably Cezanne. Much like Cezanne, who innovated the depiction of space in painting through his masterful use of colour, El-Masri ignores the laws of classical perspective and builds dimension within his compositions through the application of layers of colour.
Rendered with rough brushstrokes and often overlaid with ornate patterning, the chairs hover at the upper edge of the canvas before disappearing from view, as if thrones surveying a realm of flat colour below. By depicting his works from an extreme angle and placing the vanishing point beyond the surface of the painting, EL-Masri reinforces movement within his paintings. The sharp truncation of the top of the chairs also lends a tension to the works, forcing the viewer to consider what remains unseen, what extends beyond the space of the canvas.
Born in 1979 in Syria, Walid El-Masri lives and works in Paris. A graduate of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus, his solo exhibitions include: Ayyam Gallery DIFC, Dubai (2012); Ayyam Gallery Al Quoz, Dubai (2009); Ayyam Gallery Damascus (2008).

Neighborhoods: South
absolutely ridiculous – $18 for a 4 oz glass of mediocre wine
c'est pareil mais en différent – C'est comme george sauf que c'est johnny...
Delicioussssssssssss! – The food is just amazing! This is the first place in South Florida that see a cheese a cheese menu, and I'm a cheese fanatic! The selections are varied from all parts of the world. Everything we tasted was extraordinary, from the cheese to the tuna sashimi to the steamed clams, crown of lamb and the dessert. The service was also very good; it could have been because we were a big group and were ordering the most expensive items of the menu. The waiter was a bit snobbish at first, but loosened up a bit. I recommend this restaurant very much, the ambiance is nice, and it was crowded on a Saturday night.
Outstanding – My friend and I are visiting the area from New York City, and we dined at Johnny V's last night. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. I started with the Maytag Blue Cheese salad, which could easily be the best salad I've had in my life (the bacon in it is cured with apple molasses). For my entree I had the Four Shells, which comes in a tomato saffron broth (no skimping on the saffron!). My friend had the romaine salad and a halibut special, and she was extremely happy with her meal as well. The entrees are far from run-of-the-mill at this place. They are extremely creative and different.
Our server, Juan, was perfect---friendly, knowledgeable, attentive---really great. And as if I need to say any more, they have a banana cheesecake bread pudding that should be illegal.... or fat free. The place is a bit pricey if you're budget-conscious, but it's definitely worth every penny.
Innovative Food, Bad Service – We went out here recently for lunch. The Lunch menu is unique and one of the better among Las Olas restaurants. Although we enjoyed our food the service left much to be desired. We ordered drinks from the bar and they had no bartender, so the waiter attempted to make our drinks - which turned our horribly. Being the only people there our food took a very long time to arrive (we ordered simple sandwiches). It seems to be understaffed for Lunch, perhaps Dinner is more enjoyable.
Very CLASSY restaurant – We have passed this place many times going up and down Las Olas and "Who Knew?" Now we have this place on our top 5 restaurants in the area and would recommend this one.
Food was fantastic, turn around time was unbelievable, service was beyond expectation and price, well I was saying WOW when the check came as I thought it would have been a lot more.
There are three separate dining experiences as far as seating goes. Outside, Inside bar area, or the formal dining room in the back - all our excellent choices and offer a beautiful atmosphere to dine in.
We recommend that you have the waiter offer a suggestion for your wine choice based on your meal selection - they know there wines VERY WELL. Also, you must have there calamari as it is like no other you have had before.
Celebrated chef brings inspired regional cuisine and a sophisticated vibe to Fort Lauderdale. – In Short
Johnny Vinczencz cooks his flavorful favorites and new dishes in an elegant--think white tablecloths and dark banquettes--Las Olas locale. Corn-crusted yellowtail snapper, seared duck breast with risotto, barbecue shrimp, and wild boar ribs are just a few of the noteworthy entrees on the substantial menu here. But before and after, be sure to sample the cheese selections, his famous wild mushroom short stack, the shrimp martini and the excellent creme brulee.

text: I'm a little late to the party but whatever. Si, if you stop making NSGP or start losing your faith in yourself to make an awesome game, that is too bad. I have played all of the New Star games that are out for mac, and I am planning on buying SLR and NSGP if I can near my birthday (in a couple weeks). I have played the NSGP demo to death, and it would be a pity for it to be the last in the series. Just the other day I had the urge to play an F1 game, and there NSGP was. (Unfortunately it is Intel-only so I couldn't play, but the fact that I knew there was just the right game for me makes me happy). So Si, keep doing what you do amazingly, making games.

DAHLONEGA, Ga. - In an effort to continue to recruit some of the best talent possible, the University of North Georgia men's and women's soccer teams are preparing to host the first of two prospect day camps on Saturday, May 4. The camp gives both the men's and women's soccer staffs the opportunity to work with prospective recruits while also giving those in attendance the opportunity to train for a day with successful college coaches.
The camp will be held at the UNG Soccer Complex and will last from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. with registration beginning at 9:00. The cost for the day camp is $100 per participant.
Following registration, an introduction and warm up will take place starting at 9:30 before the coaches hold a training session. The camp will then break for lunch from 11:30 to 1:00 p.m.; campers are responsible for their own lunch.
Following lunch, a tour of the UNG campus will be provided from 1:00 p.m. until 2:00 with games between the participants starting at 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. The games will give participants the chance to showcase their skills for the coaching staffs.
Before everything concludes, head men's coach Pat Parris and head women's coach Chris Adams will hold a question and answer session from 4:00 p.m. until 4:30 where prospects are encouraged to ask questions about the recruitment process as well as other information regarding playing at the collegiate level.
To register for either the May 4, 2013 Prospect Camp or the August 10, 2013 Prospect Camp click HERE.

|On Littlewood Polynomials with Prescribed Number of Zeros Inside the Unit Disk
We investigate the numbers of complex zeros of Littlewood polynomials $p(z)$ (polynomials with coefficients $\{-1, 1\}$) inside or on the unit circle $|z|=1$, denoted by $N(p)$ and $U(p)$, respectively. Two types of Littlewood polynomials are considered: Littlewood polynomials with one sign change in the sequence of coefficients and Littlewood polynomials with one negative coefficient. We obtain explicit formulas for $N(p)$, $U(p)$ for polynomials $p(z)$ of these types. We show that, if $n+1$ is a prime number, then for each integer $k$, $0 \leq k \leq n-1$, there exists a Littlewood polynomial $p(z)$ of degree $n$ with $N(p)=k$ and $U(p)=0$. Furthermore, we describe some cases when the ratios $N(p)/n$ and $U(p)/n$ have limits as $n \to \infty$ and find the corresponding limit values.

|Mahler Measures as Linear Combinations of $L$-values of Multiple Modular Forms
We study the Mahler measures of certain families of Laurent polynomials in two and three variables. Each of the known Mahler measure formulas for these families involves $L$-values of at most one newform and/or at most one quadratic character. In this paper, we show, either rigorously or numerically, that the Mahler measures of some polynomials are related to $L$-values of multiple newforms and quadratic characters simultaneously. The results suggest that the number of modular $L$-values appearing in the formulas significantly depends on the shape of the algebraic value of the parameter chosen for each polynomial. As a consequence, we also obtain new formulas relating special values of hypergeometric series evaluated at algebraic numbers to special values of $L$-functions.

|Values of Twisted Tensor $L$-functions of Automorphic Forms Over Imaginary Fields
Let $K$ be a complex quadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ and let $\mathbb{A}_K$ denote the adeles of $K$. We find special values at all of the critical points of twisted tensor $L$-functions attached to cohomological cuspforms on $GL_2(\mathbb{A}_K)$, and establish Galois equivariance of the values. To investigate the values, we determine the archimedean factors of a class of integral representations of these $L$-functions, thus proving a conjecture due to Ghate. We also investigate analytic properties of these $L$-functions, such as their functional equations.

|Tate Cycles on Abelian Varieties with Complex Multiplication
We consider Tate cycles on an Abelian variety $A$ defined over a sufficiently large number field $K$ and having complex multiplication. We show that there is an effective bound $C = C(A,K)$ so that to check whether a given cohomology class is a Tate class on $A$, it suffices to check the action of Frobenius elements at primes $v$ of norm $ \leq C$. We also show that for a set of primes $v$ of $K$ of density $1$, the space of Tate cycles on the special fibre $A_v$ of the Néron model of $A$ is isomorphic to the space of Tate cycles on $A$ itself.

|A Skolem-Mahler-Lech Theorem for Iterated Automorphisms of $K$-algebras
This paper proves a commutative algebraic extension of a generalized Skolem-Mahler-Lech theorem due to the first author. Let $A$ be a finitely generated commutative $K$-algebra over a field of characteristic $0$, and let $\sigma$ be a $K$-algebra automorphism of $A$. Given ideals $I$ and $J$ of $A$, we show that the set $S$ of integers $m$ such that $\sigma^m(I) \supseteq J$ is a finite union of complete doubly infinite arithmetic progressions in $m$, up to the addition of a finite set. Alternatively, this result states that for an affine scheme $X$ of finite type over $K$, an automorphism $\sigma \in \operatorname{Aut}_K(X)$, and $Y$ and $Z$ any two closed subschemes of $X$, the set of integers $m$ with $\sigma^m(Z ) \subseteq Y$ is as above. The paper presents examples showing that this result may fail to hold if the affine scheme $X$ is not of finite type, or if $X$ is of finite type but the field $K$ has positive characteristic.

|Signed $\pm/\pm$-Selmer Groups over the $\mathbb{Z}_p^2$-extension of an Imaginary Quadratic Field
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb Q$ which has good supersingular reduction at $p\gt 3$. We construct what we call the $\pm/\pm$-Selmer groups of $E$ over the $\mathbb Z_p^2$-extension of an imaginary quadratic field $K$ when the prime $p$ splits completely over $K/\mathbb Q$, and prove they enjoy a property analogous to Mazur's control theorem. Furthermore, we propose a conjectural connection between the $\pm/\pm$-Selmer groups and Loeffler's two-variable $\pm/\pm$-$p$-adic $L$-functions of elliptic curves.

|Congruence Relations for Shimura Varieties Associated with $GU(n-1,1)$
We prove the congruence relation for the mod-$p$ reduction of Shimura varieties associated to a unitary similitude group $GU(n-1,1)$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, when $p$ is inert and $n$ odd. The case when $n$ is even was obtained by T. Wedhorn and O. B?ltel, as a special case of a result of B. Moonen, when the $\mu$-ordinary locus of the $p$-isogeny space is dense. This condition fails in our case. We show that every supersingular irreducible component of the special fiber of $p\textrm{-}\mathscr{I}sog$ is annihilated by a degree one polynomial in the Frobenius element $F$, which implies the congruence relation.

|Symmetric Genuine Spherical Whittaker Functions on $\overline{GSp_{2n}(F)}$
Let $F$ be a p-adic field of odd residual characteristic. Let $\overline{GSp_{2n}(F)}$ and $\overline{Sp_{2n}(F)}$ be the metaplectic double covers of the general symplectic group and the symplectic group attached to the $2n$ dimensional symplectic space over $F$. Let $\sigma$ be a genuine, possibly reducible, unramified principal series representation of $\overline{GSp_{2n}(F)}$. In these notes we give an explicit formulas for a spanning set for the space of Spherical Whittaker functions attached to $\sigma$. For odd $n$, and generically for even $n$, this spanning set is a basis. The significant property of this set is that each of its elements is unchanged under the action of the Weyl group of $\overline{Sp_{2n}(F)}$. If $n$ is odd then each element in the set has an equivariant property that generalizes a uniqueness result of Gelbart, Howe and Piatetski-Shapiro. Using this symmetric set, we construct a family of reducible genuine unramified principal series representations which have more then one generic constituent. This family contains all the reducible genuine unramified principal series representations induced from a unitary data and exists only for $n$ even.

|Orbital $L$-functions for the Space of Binary Cubic Forms
We introduce the notion of orbital $L$-functions for the space of binary cubic forms and investigate their analytic properties. We study their functional equations and residue formulas in some detail. Aside from their intrinsic interest, the results from this paper are used to prove the existence of secondary terms in counting functions for cubic fields. This is worked out in a companion paper.

|Expression d'un facteur epsilon de paire par une formule intégrale
Let $E/F$ be a quadratic extension of $p$-adic fields and let $d$, $m$ be nonnegative integers of distinct parities. Fix admissible irreducible tempered representations $\pi$ and $\sigma$ of $GL_d(E)$ and $GL_m(E)$ respectively. We assume that $\pi$ and $\sigma$ are conjugate-dual. That is to say $\pi\simeq \pi^{\vee,c}$ and $\sigma\simeq \sigma^{\vee,c}$ where $c$ is the non trivial $F$-automorphism of $E$. This implies, we can extend $\pi$ to an unitary representation $\tilde{\pi}$ of a nonconnected group $GL_d(E)\rtimes \{1,\theta\}$. Define $\tilde{\sigma}$ the same way. We state and prove an integral formula for $\epsilon(1/2,\pi\times \sigma,\psi_E)$ involving the characters of $\tilde{\pi}$ and $\tilde{\sigma}$. This formula is related to the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for unitary groups.

|Twists of Shimura Curves
Consider a Shimura curve $X^D_0(N)$ over the rational numbers. We determine criteria for the twist by an Atkin-Lehner involution to have points over a local field. As a corollary we give a new proof of the theorem of Jordan-Livné on $\mathbf{Q}_p$ points when $p\mid D$ and for the first time give criteria for $\mathbf{Q}_p$ points when $p\mid N$. We also give congruence conditions for roots modulo $p$ of Hilbert class polynomials.

|Galois Representations Over Fields of Moduli and Rational Points on Shimura Curves
The purpose of this note is introducing a method for proving the existence of no rational points on a coarse moduli space $X$ of abelian varieties over a given number field $K$, in cases where the moduli problem is not fine and points in $X(K)$ may not be represented by an abelian variety (with additional structure) admitting a model over the field $K$. This is typically the case when the abelian varieties that are being classified have even dimension. The main idea, inspired on the work of Ellenberg and Skinner on the modularity of $\mathbb{Q}$-curves, is that to a point $P=[A]\in X(K)$ represented by an abelian variety $A/\bar K$ one may still attach a Galois representation of $\operatorname{Gal}(\bar K/K)$ with values in the quotient group $\operatorname{GL}(T_\ell(A))/\operatorname{Aut}(A)$, provided $\operatorname{Aut}(A)$ lies in the centre of $\operatorname{GL}(T_\ell(A))$. We exemplify our method in the cases where $X$ is a Shimura curve over an imaginary quadratic field or an Atkin-Lehner quotient over $\mathbb{Q}$.

|Multidimensional Vinogradov-type Estimates in Function Fields
Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ denote the polynomial ring over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We employ Wooley's new efficient congruencing method to prove certain multidimensional Vinogradov-type estimates in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$. These results allow us to apply a variant of the circle method to obtain asymptotic formulas for a system connected to the problem about linear spaces lying on hypersurfaces defined over $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$.

|Transfer of Plancherel Measures for Unitary Supercuspidal Representations between $p$-adic Inner Forms
|Transfer of Plancherel Measures for Unitary Supercuspidal Representations between $p$-adic Inner Forms
Let $F$ be a $p$-adic field of characteristic $0$, and let $M$ be an $F$-Levi subgroup of a connected reductive $F$-split group such that $\Pi_{i=1}^{r} SL_{n_i} \subseteq M \subseteq \Pi_{i=1}^{r} GL_{n_i}$ for positive integers $r$ and $n_i$. We prove that the Plancherel measure for any unitary supercuspidal representation of $M(F)$ is identically transferred under the local Jacquet-Langlands type correspondence between $M$ and its $F$-inner forms, assuming a working hypothesis that Plancherel measures are invariant on a certain set. This work extends the result of MuiÄ and Savin (2000) for Siegel Levi subgroups of the groups $SO_{4n}$ and $Sp_{4n}$ under the local Jacquet-Langlands correspondence. It can be applied to a simply connected simple $F$-group of type $E_6$ or $E_7$, and a connected reductive $F$-group of type $A_{n}$, $B_{n}$, $C_n$ or $D_n$.

|Modular Abelian Varieties Over Number Fields
The main result of this paper is a characterization of the abelian varieties $B/K$ defined over Galois number fields with the property that the $L$-function $L(B/K;s)$ is a product of $L$-functions of non-CM newforms over $\mathbb Q$ for congruence subgroups of the form $\Gamma_1(N)$. The characterization involves the structure of $\operatorname{End}(B)$, isogenies between the Galois conjugates of $B$, and a Galois cohomology class attached to $B/K$. We call the varieties having this property strongly modular. The last section is devoted to the study of a family of abelian surfaces with quaternionic multiplication. As an illustration of the ways in which the general results of the paper can be applied we prove the strong modularity of some particular abelian surfaces belonging to that family, and we show how to find nontrivial examples of strongly modular varieties by twisting.

|Application of the Strong Artin Conjecture to the Class Number Problem
We construct unconditionally several families of number fields with the largest possible class numbers. They are number fields of degree 4 and 5 whose Galois closures have the Galois group $A_4, S_4$ and $S_5$. We first construct families of number fields with smallest regulators, and by using the strong Artin conjecture and applying zero density result of Kowalski-Michel, we choose subfamilies of $L$-functions which are zero free close to 1. For these subfamilies, the $L$-functions have the extremal value at $s=1$, and by the class number formula, we obtain the extreme class numbers.

|Iterated Integrals and Higher Order Invariants
We show that higher order invariants of smooth functions can be written as linear combinations of full invariants times iterated integrals. The non-uniqueness of such a presentation is captured in the kernel of the ensuing map from the tensor product. This kernel is computed explicitly. As a consequence, it turns out that higher order invariants are a free module of the algebra of full invariants.

|On the Dihedral Main Conjectures of Iwasawa Theory for Hilbert Modular Eigenforms
We construct a bipartite Euler system in the sense of Howard for Hilbert modular eigenforms of parallel weight two over totally real fields, generalizing works of Bertolini-Darmon, Longo, Nekovar, Pollack-Weston and others. The construction has direct applications to Iwasawa main conjectures. For instance, it implies in many cases one divisibility of the associated dihedral or anticyclotomic main conjecture, at the same time reducing the other divisibility to a certain nonvanishing criterion for the associated $p$-adic $L$-functions. It also has applications to cyclotomic main conjectures for Hilbert modular forms over CM fields via the technique of Skinner and Urban.

|Optimal Polynomial Recurrence
Let $P\in\mathbb Z[n]$ with $P(0)=0$ and $\varepsilon\gt 0$. We show, using Fourier analytic techniques, that if $N\geq \exp\exp(C\varepsilon^{-1}\log\varepsilon^{-1})$ and $A\subseteq\{1,\dots,N\}$, then there must exist $n\in\mathbb N$ such that \[\frac{|A\cap (A+P(n))|}{N}\gt \left(\frac{|A|}{N}\right)^2-\varepsilon.\] In addition to this we also show, using the same Fourier analytic methods, that if $A\subseteq\mathbb N$, then the set of $\varepsilon$-optimal return times \[R(A,P,\varepsilon)=\left\{n\in \mathbb N \,:\,\delta(A\cap(A+P(n)))\gt \delta(A)^2-\varepsilon\right\}\] is syndetic for every $\varepsilon\gt 0$. Moreover, we show that $R(A,P,\varepsilon)$ is dense in every sufficiently long interval, in particular we show that there exists an $L=L(\varepsilon,P,A)$ such that \[\left|R(A,P,\varepsilon)\cap I\right| \geq c(\varepsilon,P)|I|\] for all intervals $I$ of natural numbers with $|I|\geq L$ and $c(\varepsilon,P)=\exp\exp(-C\,\varepsilon^{-1}\log\varepsilon^{-1})$.

|Harmonic Analysis Related to Homogeneous Varieties in Three Dimensional Vector Spaces over Finite Fields
|Harmonic Analysis Related to Homogeneous Varieties in Three Dimensional Vector Spaces over Finite Fields
In this paper we study the extension problem, the averaging problem, and the generalized ErdÅs-Falconer distance problem associated with arbitrary homogeneous varieties in three dimensional vector spaces over finite fields. In the case when the varieties do not contain any plane passing through the origin, we obtain the best possible results on the aforementioned three problems. In particular, our result on the extension problem modestly generalizes the result by Mockenhaupt and Tao who studied the particular conical extension problem. In addition, investigating the Fourier decay on homogeneous varieties enables us to give complete mapping properties of averaging operators. Moreover, we improve the size condition on a set such that the cardinality of its distance set is nontrivial.

|The Central Limit Theorem for Subsequences in Probabilistic Number Theory
Let $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$ be an increasing sequence of positive integers, and let $f(x)$ be a real function satisfying \begin{equation} \tag{1} f(x+1)=f(x), \qquad \int_0^1 f(x) ~dx=0,\qquad \operatorname{Var_{[0,1]}} f \lt \infty. \end{equation} If $\lim_{k \to \infty} \frac{n_{k+1}}{n_k} = \infty$ the distribution of \begin{equation} \tag{2} \frac{\sum_{k=1}^N f(n_k x)}{\sqrt{N}} \end{equation} converges to a Gaussian distribution. In the case $$ 1 \lt \liminf_{k \to \infty} \frac{n_{k+1}}{n_k}, \qquad \limsup_{k \to \infty} \frac{n_{k+1}}{n_k} \lt \infty $$ there is a complex interplay between the analytic properties of the function $f$, the number-theoretic properties of $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$, and the limit distribution of (2). In this paper we prove that any sequence $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$ satisfying $\limsup_{k \to \infty} \frac{n_{k+1}}{n_k} = 1$ contains a nontrivial subsequence $(m_k)_{k \geq 1}$ such that for any function satisfying (1) the distribution of $$ \frac{\sum_{k=1}^N f(m_k x)}{\sqrt{N}} $$ converges to a Gaussian distribution. This result is best possible: for any $\varepsilon\gt 0$ there exists a sequence $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$ satisfying $\limsup_{k \to \infty} \frac{n_{k+1}}{n_k} \leq 1 + \varepsilon$ such that for every nontrivial subsequence $(m_k)_{k \geq 1}$ of $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$ the distribution of (2) does not converge to a Gaussian distribution for some $f$. Our result can be viewed as a Ramsey type result: a sufficiently dense increasing integer sequence contains a subsequence having a certain requested number-theoretic property.

We prove a non-vanishing result for families of $\operatorname{GL}_n\times\operatorname{GL}_n$ Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions in the critical strip, as one factor runs over twists by Hecke characters. As an application, we simplify the proof, due to Luo, Rudnick, and Sarnak, of the best known bounds towards the Generalized Ramanujan Conjecture at the infinite places for cusp forms on $\operatorname{GL}_n$. A key ingredient is the regularization of the units in residue classes by the use of an Arakelov ray class group.
